After a stressful finals week, many Bobcats will return home for the summer, leaving the local economy nearly 30,000 people short.

Ohio University students are responsible for a large portion of revenue for many local restaurants. Many of these restaurants change their hours during the summer months to reflect the drastic decrease in business.
